Driving Licence Saved

10 January 2014

One of our motoring clients can look forward to the New Year ahead with his job safe and his driving licence intact. He was charged by police with drink driving after they attended his home to breathalyse him some time after he last drove. His breathalyser reading was over the legal limit but he was frank with police when questioned, he strongly denied any wrong doing, stating he had a couple of drinks at home shortly after driving, and it must be this which took the reading over the limit.

Our client was acquitted after we submitted persuasive expert witness evidence to the court from a toxicologist who calculated that given what our client and other witnesses confirmed, our client would have been driving within the legal limit at the time the police alleged.
